Do me a favor! Go to Omontesado Hills mall and take pictures of the new Ann Demeulemeester boutique :-)

not sure wher your budget line is, but Isetan and Barney's NY at Shinjuku are great department stores to visit if you are in tokyo. the rain is supposed to last for 3 days or so. we have a typhoon coming through in western part of the country.

yeah, a lot of the big department stores, you can spend whole day there and not get to every store.

also, they always have the nice market downstairs and restaurants. you can get full (and a buzzed!) off of all the free samples alone--i've done it!

[gigsel]

ok, i decided to go to some of the dept. stores. could you just tell me where to get off the subway?

[greentea]

the yamanote line, goes aorund in a circle,hit up all the areas,

[6MT]

you should go check out isetan or seibu department atore, or chill out in your hotel if you have one, it would be nice just chilling out tokyo, or you could just hang out underground in the train station, they got shops and shops and shops......

[greentea]

start with shibuya. explore around

[englandmj7]

Post up in a yakitori-ya.....eat......get full, get drunk......spend the night passed out on a sidewalk with a salaryman......sex is optional.

[gigsel]

thanks for the map, greentea..

[greentea]

if you try to go to club harlem there is a love hotel right across the street. if anything goes down.

[greentea]

where are you staying at?

[gigsel]

[greentea]

[gigsel]
